Summer season starts 5/31/26 @ 10am.
What equipment does my child need to play?
FULL GEAR IS REQUIRED
All athletes must wear full protective equipment while on the ice. This includes a helmet with full facial protection, neck guard, gloves, and protective footwear when not wearing skates—such as when using adaptive equipment.
Equipment will be available to players based on availability from donations
ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT IS WELCOMED
Mobility devices like wheelchairs and gait trainers are permitted when properly supervised and safely integrated into practices and games. Safety comes first. All equipment adaptations should align with ASHA’s goal of safe, inclusive participation for athletes of all abilities.
How much does it cost?
Registration for the Summer Season is $300. This covers the cost of renting the ice time during the season.
We want this program to be accessible to everyone. If cost is a concern, please reach out to discuss options.

Who will I see on the ice?
Head & Assistant Coaches lead the sessions and make sure things run smoothly.
Junior Coaches (Mentors) are trained youth volunteers who support athletes—especially at the C and B levels.
On-Ice Buddies provide hands-on or nearby support. That’s not just allowed—it’s encouraged!
Parents are not permitted on the bench or ice unless they are registered, background-checked volunteers and invited by a coach.
What are the age requirements to be on the team?
What if my child has a medical need?
Please share any specific medical or support needs—like seizures, mobility, or sensory considerations—so we can help your athlete succeed.
What if my child is having an off day?
Every athlete has good days and tough days. We celebrate effort, growth, and connection, not just goals.
What should I expect at the rink?
At the Rink
Arrive 20–30 minutes before ice time to get settled in.
Locker rooms may be assigned. Volunteers can help guide you.
Parents may assist their athletes but must be registered Locker Room Support Volunteers with a completed background check and abuse prevention training.
To avoid crowding. one parent/guardian only is allowed in the locker room if support is needed.
Athletes should never remove their base layers in locker rooms. ASHA teams are mixed-age and gender, and privacy is important.
Practices are structured but flexible. Athletes will be grouped by ability level (A, B, or C) and supported by trained coaches, jr. coaches/mentors, and volunteers.
A team manager or coach will greet you and check in on how your athlete is doing.
Ask questions anytime!
Do I have to be from the South Shore?
Absolutely not! If you're willing to make the drive to the rink every Sunday, you're more than welcome!
